For this Week-end, another excellent Podcast to discover : Syndae !
Syndae is a fine EM (Electronica /Electronic Music) to listen, discover some of the best EM artists out there :
syndae is an independent podcast on electronic music of ambient, space, new age, harmonic, traditional, progressive, and rhythmic style, not directly including electronic dance music. Well known artists in electronic music are (in no specific order): Klaus Schulze, Jean-Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Ron Boots, Ian Boddy, Kraftwerk, and Steve Roach.
The goal of syndae is to make aware of fine electronic music, by providing enjoyable episodes with well known and not yet well known artists from around the world, and to promote events of the electronic music scene, by dedicating episodes to selected artists of such an event.
Stefan, host of the show, will guide you during 30 minutes into a fine music journey. The Podcast is quality, and the length perfect.
For example this week, Syndae N°38 will present:
Expect some of the most talented EM artists in tonight’s episode 38 of syndae! Brand new tracks by Christopher J. Wray from the UK from his upcoming album Retrospect, by Frank van Bogaert from Belgium from his June 2009 album Air Machine, and by Stefan Erbe from his soon to be live presented album Driver. Further on the show, an insight into Imaginary Soundtrack by Peter Beasley and hot stuff by jujigen a.k.a. Kevin Rees from the just released compilation Nucleolus.
Have fun !
“Moon Ritual” is the first record of Ephemeral Mists, aka Brett Branning. You can buy the CD from his website as wel as listen to some sample on his MySpace account.
The music of Ephemeral Mists is really a mix of electronica, down-tempo, world music and ambient :
Ephemeral mists began its musical journey during the end of 2008, when composer, Brett Branning (Abandoned Toys & The synthetic dream foundation), began fusing his cutting edge ambient electronics with the ancient musical traditions and instruments of the middle east and far east. The result is a stunningly beautiful ambient world of sound that goes well beyond the cliches of the genre and reaches for daunting new artistic and creative heights.
The mix between modern sounds and old and traditional ones is really good, and both blends perfectly for our listening pleasure ! My preferred track so far : “Eastern channels” because I love electronica so much ! “Awakening spirits” is also a great opener for the record, and a good sample of Ephemeral Mists music…
For your Easter week end, to all of you ambient music fans, let me drive you to the new mon0 tune “Enantiodromie”.
mon0 is back to some ambient music, drones and space soundscapes for our listening pleasure !
Found via Altus, the “Sounds of Ambience” is a Podcast by George Smyth.
